1 Response to Join the consultation on the 2021 GEM Report on non-state actors in education

GEM should have a category of non-state actors involved in education policy, who may or may not teach or train directly. Examples are Save the Children, Oxfam, INEE, NORRAG, Al Qasimi Foundation, Queen Rania foundation, Gates, Pratham, actors promoting islamic education, Fe y Alegria in LAC, and many others. What policies do they promote and how effective are they in educating the poorer populations? How research-based are they?
